I believe the seller of that auction is a long-time comic buyer. I talked with him the other day and I believe he does legitimately own the book, but the back cover is missing. :sorry:

I'm local and can look at the book in person if the seller is amenable.

 

The listing does leave a lot to be desired, to say the least...

Someone of the same username has often contacted me through aol and would indicate he was a collector of major books. I have no idea if that is true but assuming they are one and the same the syntax/mannerism are very similar.

 

I believe saying "Not CGC" is an ebay listing violation, is it not?

He wants people to send him 10k DEPOSITS to hold a book that he won't have pictures of for weeks?

 

Adam, when you spoke to him, did you call Nigeria?

 

lol

 

My first reaction when I saw the listing was very similar. I definitely don't think the seller is doing himself any favors with that listing! But I did recognize the eBay ID as someone I'd spoken with a few times on the phone a number of years ago and met a few times at the SD Comic Con.

 

From the few times I've spoken with him the seller seems like a nice guy. But I will say the fact that the book is missing the back cover should've made its way into the listing at least once :) Especially before asking for a $10,000 deposit!

I think he is a serious golden age collector who I believe has owned some pretty significant golden age books over the years. I think he even used to advertise in the Overstreet.

 

"Not CGC" could probably cause that listing to get pulled down if someone were ever to decide to report it.
